Quote: TitanicClown "I remember when Pearce had just joined Hull from RU. Real early on in his Hull career, think it was at Featherstone he was about to take a conversion practically under the posts, the ball fell over as he had just stated his run up. Not knowing in RL he could simply stand it back up, he attempted to flick the ball over as it was on its side on the floor! Everyone was wtf!?? Apparently in RU if it fell over that was the rule and that’s why players used to lay down and hold the ball to stop it blowing over in windy conditions before the kicker kicked it. Still, can’t remember the last time I saw a teammate holding the ball at goal kick/oenalty.'"
We used to do it in the playground at West Dock Infants!
